Only hours after identifying a security hole in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser as the culprit in last week’s cyber attack on Google, software maker McAfee verified that the same security hole enabled computer hackers to steal the wallet of 34-year-old Douglas Haberdasher of Lakeville, Minnesota.  According to police reports, the cyber thief was able to fit his or her hand through the security hole and remove Haberdasher’s tri-fold wallet from his American Eagle relaxed jeans pocket.  McAfee officials have reportedly known about the security hole for months and claim that Microsoft has not responded to multiple notices about the issue.  ”It’s really sad that it has to come to this before people really take notice,” said James McAfee, night shift security officer at McAfee.  ”I mean Google leaving China is one thing, but this guy was one purchase away from a free Eggs-In-The-Basket on his Cracker Barrel loyalty card.  How many more casualties do we need before Microsoft does something to prevent this?”
